This seminar discusses the research behind the monograph Reading War, Making Memory (Berghahn 2025). It investigates how authors from the diaspora of the former Yugoslavia transmit the memory of the Bosnian war (1992-1995) in their fiction, and how these memories have been circulated and received by readers in Germany, Denmark, the UK, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Combining close readings, studies of public reception, and focus group interviews with lay readers, this book explores the capability of literature to reshape social frameworks of memory and the wider impact of memory-making literature across Europe. The talk is delivered by Tea Sindbæk Andersen (University of Copenhagen).

The event will be held in MS Teams. Please register before the event. You should receive the link to join in your email.
